Just been on the telly... New research shows that we do suffer more than women, when it comes to cold's and flu!
So we're not just wimps, then... :wink: :roll:
It was on Anglia TV, but can't find a link.
Was researched by two blokes :oops:

    and the conclusion was that men are weaker than women...or at least their immune systems are.
    There's no such thing as too old.

    It was reported in the telegraph yesterday as well.

    Apparently men are more interested in maintaining sexual performance than getting better, whereas women are the opposite.

    Would explain why women are relcutant when they have headaches. I think only the plague stops men getting it on.

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;

    Than never to have loved at all."

    As a kid I was subjected to god knows what crap on the local fields and scrapyards. People need to stop hiding from dirt and develop an immune system - that's my excuse for not washing anyway :P
